On the other end of the line, Lin Nuan was silent for a moment. Liu Mingchen continued, "Now that something has happened to my family, now that my parents are implicated, I finally understand how terrible it must feel. All along, I thought… that since it was me who did this, even if they were to harm anyone, it'd be targeted at me. But it seems like things aren't turning out as I had imagined…"
